Vets in Training School Programs
Our mission is to use STEAM based lessons and live animals to learn about veterinary care and animal science. Through these unique, interactive, educational experiences, the Vets In Training Program cultivates the human-animal bond to encourage compassion, kindness, empowerment and responsibility.
Vets in Training Core Values are Compassion – fostering the innate ability of a child to develop empathy and selflessness. Engagement – Learning the power of positive interaction with each other, animals, and the larger community. Empowerment – through discovery, we are enhancing the leadership that children are born demonstrating. Service – allowing recognition that service is a daily part of life.
Children are fascinated by animals and display a deep passion for animal welfare and well-being at an early age. The HousePaws Vets in Training Program embraces the human-animal bond through interaction and education.
By providing hands-on experienced-based education to each student in the program, the children are empowered to explore the human-animal bond and the many facets of veterinary medicine.
